Woolton Woods and Camp Hill is adjacent to St Julie's Catholic High School.

From 150 BC, an Iron Age fort occupied the crest of Camp Hill.

The name of Woolton (recorded in the Domesday Book as Uluentune) is derived from "Wulfa's Tun", from the Anglo-Saxon personal name "Wulfa" and the Old English "tun" meaning "village, farm, or homestead".

In the 1850s, ownership of the estate passed to William Shand, who married one of the daughters of Henry Ashton.

The floral clock in the old walled garden was presented to the public in 1927 by the family of James Bellhouse Gaskell, in memory of his long connection with Woolton Woods.
